I want to use a voip speaker phone as a room monitor. Requirements: A phone that I can set to auto answer in speaker mode. A phone with a good speaker phone. Ability to make the audio one way. I want to monitor the room but not have my voice heard in the room. Yes, the mute button can accomplish this also. I have been using the SPA942's around the house (the speaker is just ok but probably good enough). Can I set one of these or a similar Cisco phone to auto answer in speaker mode? Any ideas on an alternative phone that would allow this? The alternative is to just set up the call locally and then leave the room with the line open but ideally I'd like to be able to open up the monitor on demand. Thanks, MARK.
Viking electronics analog phones (I think E20) connected to an ATA. Or cyberdata door boxes.

We have tested with Linksys SPA9XX phones and works fine (hint: clear regional=>call progres tones=>page tone in order to cancel the page tone if you need to be "super-silent").
